here's a cut and past from the Florida Wildlife Commission website regarding spearfishing:
You may NOT spearfish (excluding bowhunting and gigging) as described below:
Spearfishing after you get 100 yards off the beach or away from the pier should be fine.
Caveat: some cities may have their own rules. I recall getting harumphed at upon exiting the water at Hollywood Beach with a polespear by a lifeguard who wasn't on duty when I did my entry. Local dive shops should be able to give some guidance if you call ahead.
You may NOT spearfish (excluding bowhunting and gigging) as described below:
- Spearfishing of marine and freshwater species in freshwater is prohibited. Possession of a spear gun in or on freshwater is also prohibited.
- Within 100 yards of a public swimming beach, any commercial or public fishing pier, or any part of a bridge from which public fishing is allowed.
- Within 100 feet of any part of a jetty that is above the surface of the sea - except for the last 500 yards of a jetty that extends more than 1,500 yards from the shoreline.
- In Collier County and in Monroe County from Long Key north to the Dade County line.
- For any fish for which spearing is expressly prohibited by law (listed above).
- In any body of water under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection, Recreation and Parks. (Possession of spearfishing equipment is prohibited in these areas, unless it is unloaded and properly stored.)

And make sure you have a flag.. Pompano is really bad for boats buzzing close by, and it's a good swim to the buoys.
